    I agree that if they can't do it in E flat, like they used to... then maybe it's time to set it aside.


  2. I might have a better love and appreciation for the 1994 40th Anniversary Tele if I heard it pitched up to Eflat or E.

    Heh, I was going to say that's a weird reason to dislike a guitar, but then I realised that I'm similar in that part of my dislike for Elevation is that it's played on an SG lol...I agree that SBS should go back up to Bb minor at the least if they're going to retain it. But I doubt they'll meet either condition, but just keep it as they have for the last couple of tours...
  4. Yea I like SBS way better on a strat then the tele. The version with the tele is almost too balanced, it's too perfect, where as the old one with the strat (red rocks and such) was more full of rage, and it was had more of an attacking feel. The elevation/vertigo one is almost neutral, plain and simple really good rock song. I'm not saying it's a bad song now days, it still kicks major ass and I love it, I just prefer the version only half a step down with a strat.

    My two favourite performances are the Denver show from R&H + Torino (Turin) during the Elevation tour; both using different setups, but both as equally passionate as the other. I prefer the look of the Tele., but how awkward do you want to get by going down 3 semitones?! lol.

    I don't 'dislike' that Tele... I just don't think that we've heard it at it's best - yet. Time will tell. Hell, he might not even use it next tour.

    Fair point, and point taken regarding your stance towards said guitar
  8. A few more Explorer piccies. I know I am getting like the dad that shows EVERYONE his snapshots of his kids... hope you don't mind too much.





    How DO you tell if the Explorer you are looking at is Edge approved 1976 Limited Edition? For those searching their local used shops...

    First, the serial number starts 00 (space) and then six digits.
    Second, it says Limited Edition

    Both markings can be found on the back of the headstock - like so:

    But you DON'T like the SG? I love that thing! But I would also like to hear another song or two be played with it, to see it's versatility.

    I wouldn't mind hearing more stuff with it either. I must say though, I'm not a fan of the primary SG (Cherry finish), it's too "average". But I'm always one to choose guitars by the tone and quality of the guitar, not the finish. And I must say, the primary SG has a beautiful tone to it.

    I hate SGs, I think they look horrible. I dislike the pointy 'devil' look (as I call it), hence I dislike a lot of PRS and Ibanez guitars in addition to the SG - aesthetically, they really don't do it for me . Technically, it sounds great and has a good tone, no doubt, but a big part of guitars is whether I like the look too.
